John Harbaugh: 'Greatest punt in history of football' wasn't a touchback

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- On the stat sheet, Sam Koch's punt midway through the third quarter was a touchback. To Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh, the kick represented something more significant.

"I thought it was the greatest punt in the history of football," Harbaugh said.

In Sunday's 23-0 win in Green Bay, Koch's 52-yard punt perfectly stopped a few inches from the goal line. But officials ruled that a diving Maurice Canady touched the ball when his right foot touched the goal line.

Replays showed Canady came close but didn't come in contact with the ball.
